Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

A triangular shaped stack of tin cans has 8 cans in the first row and 8 rows in all.

In each successive row one can is removed.

i.e. in first row there are 8 cans

in second row there are 7 cans

in third row there are 6 cans

...

The explicit formula which tells about the number of cans in row n is:

an=9-n

(Since a1=8 is satisfied only by this formula)

Number of cans in fifth row are:

a5=9-5=4

Hence, number of cans in fifth row equals:

4

The rule is that one can will be removed each row, so in the fifth row there will be 3 fans.

It takes 54 minutes for 4 people to paint 6 walls. How many minuets does it take 6 people to paint 7 walls?
earnstyle [38]

It takes 42 minutes for 6 people to paint 7 walls

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

It takes 54 minutes for 4 people to paint 6 walls

To find: Minutes required for 6 people to paint 7 walls

If M_1 men can do W_1 work in D_1 days working H_1 hours per day and M_2 men can do W_2 work in D_2 days working H_2 hours per day, then

\frac{M_1D_1H_1}{W_1} = \frac{M_2D_2H_2}{W_2}

M = Number of men

D = Number of days

H = Number of hours per day

W = Amount of work

Here in this sum,

<em><u>54 minutes for 4 people to paint 6 walls</u></em>

H_1 = 54 minutes ; M_1 = 4 people ; W_1 = 6 walls

<em><u>Minutes required for 6 people to paint 7 walls</u></em>

H_2 = ? ; M_2 = 6 people ; W_2 = 7 walls

<em><u>Substituting the values in formula, we get</u></em>

\frac{54 \times 4}{6} = \frac{H_2 \times 6}{7}\\\\9 \times 4 = \frac{H_2 \times 6}{7}\\\\H_2 = \frac{36 \times 7}{6}\\\\H_2 = 42

Thus it takes 42 minutes for 6 people to paint 7 walls
